NRC-HQ-12-C-02-0089 NRC-HQ-50-15-T-0001 M0008 Specific Changes are as Follows:

1. Delete Section NRCF032 in its entirety and replace with the following:

NRCF032 TASK/DELIVERY ORDER PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE (SEP 2013)

This order shall commence on September 8, 2015 and will expire on September 28, 2018.

2. Replace the Section C - Statement of Work with the following:

SECTION C - Description/Specifications Statement of Work

1. PROJECT TITLE Support for the Development of the Managing Aging Processes in Storage Report

2. BACKGROUND The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses dry storage of spent nuclear fuel under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 72, Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste. According to 10 CFR 72.42, the initial licensing term may be up to 40 years, after which the license may be renewed for periods up to 40 years. The requirements for license renewal include submitting to the NRC time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs) to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety will continue to perform their intended function during the period of extended operation and a description of aging management programs (AMPs) to address material degradation issues that could affect the SSCs. Staff guidance for the review of TLAAs and AMPs is found in NUREG-1927, Standard Review Plan for Renewal of Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage System Licenses and Certificates of Compliance.

Staff in the NRC Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) is currently reviewing a number of dry cask storage system (DCSS) license renewal applications, with several more expected over the next few years. The NMSS staff has recognized the need for additional staff guidance to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the review process. Specifically, multiple rounds of requests for additional information and a significant amount of staff time have been needed to identify relevant aging-related degradation issues and to determine the appropriate TLAAs and AMPs to address those issues.

3. SCOPE OF WORK The objective of this task order is to obtain technical and editorial support for the development of the Managing Aging Processes in Storage (MAPS) Report. The MAPS Report will provide additional guidance to the NRC staff in reviewing license renewal applications for dry storage of spent nuclear fuel and will serve as the dry storage equivalent to NUREG-1801, Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report. The GALL Report has been a well-established part of the regulatory framework for reactor license renewal for over 10 years. Similar to the GALL Report, the MAPS Report will provide a generic evaluation of licensees dry cask storage systems to identify aging effects requiring management and acceptable AMPs and TLAAs to address those aging effects.

4. SPECIFIC TASKS Task 1 Attend Kick-off Meeting The Contractor shall participate in a kick-off meeting with the Task Order (TO) Contracting Officers Representative (COR) and other NRC technical staff to discuss the scope of work, expectations, project management, deliverables, and performance requirements of the task order. The kick-off meeting shall be held within five (5) working days of task order award.

The Contractor shall prepare a written summary of the meeting that includes, at a minimum, the following information: (1) identification of meeting participants from the NRC and Contractor, (2) minutes of the meeting that clearly describe the substance of the meeting, and (3) any action items and decisions from the meeting.

Task 2 Develop Draft Report on Managing Aging Processes in Storage The Contractor shall develop a draft report in NUREG format that will identify the aging effects requiring management for dry cask storage systems and appropriate AMPs and TLAAs to address those aging effects. In developing the information to be included in the report, the Contractor shall review design basis documentation on storage systems publically available in ADAMS, review the technical literature on material degradation mechanisms, and perform other technical analyses, as needed, to identify the aging effects that could challenge the function of storage system SSCs in the period of the renewed license.

The Contractor shall incorporate into the draft report AMPs, TLAAs, and aging management tables (AMTs) that are provided by the TO COR. The TO COR will also provide to the Contractor the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) Report, Managing Aging Effects on Dry Cask Storage Systems for Extended Long-Term Storage and Transportation of Used Fuel in Microsoft Word format. To avoid duplication of effort, the contractor shall extract and incorporate into the draft report all applicable factual information from the ANL Report.

Table 1 at the end of this task description identifies the minimum information the Contractor shall include in the draft report.

4

The Contractor shall attribute work to the NRC, CNWRA, and ANL, as applicable, in the draft report. The Contractor shall ensure that the information in the draft report, including all cited references, are publically available.

The Contractor shall submit a draft MAPS Report no later than the end of calendar year 2015. The scope of the draft report shall be based upon the system-specific AMTs, TLAAs, and AMPs that the TO COR will provide to the Contractor no later than 60 calendar days prior to the deliverable due date, or as otherwise agreed upon by the COR and the contractor (e.g., the report shall include descriptions of only those storage systems for which the NRC provides corresponding AMTs). The contractor shall incorporate all comments provided by the TO COR into the subsequent revision of the draft report. Additional aging management tables and accompanying text should be provided to the NRC in MS Word format for incorporation by NRC staff into the draft MAPS report. The contractor shall assist the NRC in addressing public comments on the draft MAPS report as needed and develop an appendix for the MAPS report documenting the comments and responses. The NRC may also request CNWRA assistance in harmonizing comments received on the NUREG-2224, Dry Storage and Transportation of High Burnup Spent Nuclear Fuel, Draft for Comment, with the MAPS report.

Table 1 - Draft Report Minimum Information Report Sections Description Introduction An introduction on the purpose of the report and how it is to be used Descriptions of terms used in the report narrative and aging Definitions management tables Technical basis for the aging effects identified in the aging management Technical Basis tables Narrative description and system drawings for each dry cask storage system within the scope of the report (as defined by the systems for System Descriptions which the TO COR has provided aging management tables to the Contractor)

System-specific tables that identify subcomponents, materials of AMTs construction, environments, applicable aging effects, and the aging management approach (i.e., AMPs and TLAAs)

A description of aging management programs that provide an acceptable AMPs approach to managing the aging effects described in the aging management tables A description of time-limited aging analyses that demonstrate the TLAAs capability of components to maintain their intended function throughout the period of the renewed license 5

Task 3 Meeting Support As required by the TO COR, the Contractor shall support meetings with the NRC at which the products described in Task 2 will be discussed, including the project status, any technical issues that may be identified by the NRC or Contractor, and clarification of NRC expectations. Support requested by the TO COR may include preparation of materials for distribution at the meetings and/or participating in the meeting via teleconference or in person. Anticipated travel is described in Section 11.1. This support will include attendance at any public meetings which will be held regarding the MAPS report, either in person or via teleconference, as well as addressing comments received from those meetings. The contractor shall assist in authoring and presenting papers at professional conferences that the NRC identifies as opportunities to bring awareness of the report to the technical community. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS AND STANDARDS The Contractor shall prepare reports under this TO in accordance with the most recent guidelines for NUREG-formatting. As these guidelines are subject to change, the TO COR may provide updated information and/or guidance to the Contractor throughout the period of performance of the TO.
